I'm scaling back this week in preparation for the
Original Mud Run taking place near Nashville, TN. The competitive heat starts
at 10am and competitors are required to wear military style cargo pants and
over the ankle boots. I am wearing some of my old army pants with Columbia
Hiking boots and believe I am ready to go. Scaling back for me is to run 50% of
my distance recorded AFTER the event.
So, I am attempting to run between 30 and
35 miles per week for a normal workout. This week I am running 15-18 miles with
the race event distance included. So, before Saturday, I need to run at least 9
miles miles. After the 10k obstacle challenge, I'll have run at least 15.2
miles. That works for me.
Today ran with my hiking boots and cargo pants and it
went better than I thought it would. The hiking boots were so soft and
comfortable that I'm considering actually running future obstacle races and mud
runs in them. I actually think my last beating I took on the recent BattleFrog
event in my thin trail shoes could have been mitigated with these hiking boots.
We'll see...
Run a 5k in "utes" and boots.
20 push ups x 3
20 flutter kicks x 3
20 leg spreaders x 3
10 pull ups with leg lifts x 3
10 weighted straight arm lifts x 3
